____________Your POV_____________
Its been three weeks, and nothing seemed to be out of the ordinary, I mean its true that you have been on a couple of expeditions since you've been healed, but no one from Levi's new squad has died, nor have you been injured, and your relationship with Levi has never been better, and today, you and Levi were to go shopping for cleaning supplies, since you now know what shops he usually goes to, and the type of things he's been looking for, he takes you along.
As you were shopping, you heard a baby crying.
Curiosity getting the better of you, you quickly glance at a mother trying her best to calm a crying baby down.
You gave a slight smile.
"What is it, (F/N)?" Levi asks.
"Could you wait here a moment?" You say as you give Levi his supplies, and began making your way towards the distressed mother.
"Hey, what's wrong?" You ask the woman.
She looks up startled at you.
"I'm so sorry, I don't know what's wrong with him, usually he's so well behaved." She says as she tried to calmly rock the baby.
"May I try?" You ask.
She looks at you a bit surprised, before giving a slight nod.
You carefully take the baby, almost as if your holding glass, while Levi calmly walks up behind you.
You then did something shocking, you had begun to sing.
(Please play lullaby above.)
After you were done singing the last verse if the song, you calmly handed the now sleeping baby back to the woman.
"Thank you so much." She whispers to you, and you replied with giving her a soft smile.
The woman carefully walks away, the sleeping baby carefully nestled in the mother's arms.
"Is that what the future like?" Levi asks.
"No, not exactly, but that's what we usually hope for the children. That's the other reason why I joined the military." You say as you and Levi began to walk back.
"When in your line of sight, enemies will choose to end the fight." Levi repeated the same line from the lullaby that you sung.
"Yeah, that sounds nice." He mutters under his breath.
As you and Levi were walking through the dense woods, you could've sworn that you kept hearing someone following behind you.
"Levi." You quietly call out.
"Yeah, I know." He mutters.
After a few minutes, you both look at each other before nodding.
"We know your there, come out!" You shout.
Five large men come out from behind the bushes.
'Let's see, there's two in the trees next to us.' You think as you kept your gaze on the five men in front of you.
"Ready?" Levi asks.
"Always." You reply as you charge at the first man.
You quickly knock the first men down, but you felt someone behind you.
You quickly duck, as the second man tries to knock you out from behind, but Levi quickly takes care of him.
As you and Levi finish the rest of them quickly, you wait for the two waiting in the trees to come out, and they do.
You quickly take the one out, but then you heard Levi grunt in pain.
You quickly turn around, and see that there are four other people there, picking up an unconscious Levi.
"Shit!" You exclaim as you tried to get to him, but that was when you feel a hard blow to the back of his head.
'Dammit.' You thought as your body cumpled to the floor, and slowly darkness took over your vision.
The last thing you saw, was Levi being carried away.
----------------Time Skip-----------------
You awoke with a start, as your body shoots upward.
'Levi.' You thought as you frantically began to scan where you were.
You shot out of bed, and tried to reach the door, but something grabbed onto you, and forced you back into bed.
You looked up, to see the familiar blond commander holding onto your shoulders.
"Calm down!" He says in a commanding voice.
You quickly regained your composure as you began to calm down.
"Where's Levi?" You ask as soon as you calmed down.
"Missing." Was all Erwin said.
You eyes widen in despair as your mind went blank.
You looked down in total depression.
'I failed again.' You think as your eyes begin to sting from holding back tears.
"But-" Erwin continued, your head snapped up, eyes full of hope.
"We do have one of the men that seems to be affiliated with Levi's kidnapping." Erwin says.
You immediately went into action with these words.
"Erwin, let me handle getting information out of the guy." You say.
"Are you sure?" He asks.
"Yes, all I need is my duffle bag." You say.
"Why?" He asks as he lift a bushy eyebrow.
"Because, the day that I was brought here, I was having a bad day, so I was heading to the nearby shooting range." You say.
"Shooting range?" Erwin questions.
"Its where you go and practice shooting a gun." You explained simply.
"So that means-" Erwin begins.
"That I have my own weapons with me." You say as you got up, and headed towards your room.
You quickly rummaged through the duffle bag, until you found a revolver, and some bullets.
You smirked as you saw this, as a devious plan came to mind.
You then rushed back to Erwin, you didn't have to say anything as he lead you to an empty room, in the center was a man tied to a chair.
He was looking down, as you made your way towards him, while Erwin took a seat nearby.
He finally looks up at you, when you stepped in front of him.
"Now tell me, do you know who I am?" You asked.
"Heh, who doesn't. Your the bitch from the future." The man sneers.
"Yeah, and do you know anything else?" You questioned.
"Yeah, you came from the military from the future, right?" He sneers.
"Yep, and that means I know how to get the information that I want. Now tell me, where's Levi." You said the last sentence in a very dark voice.
He just looks at you, before spitting at you.
The glob of saliva lands on you cheek, right below your eye.
You calmly brought you hand up, and wiped it off, on your sleeve.
"You know what's so interesting about torture." You began as you calmly walked to the small table in the corner of the room.
The man doesn't say anything to answer your question.
"Its that there are so many ways of doing it. For example, the death of a thousand cuts, or cutting patches of flesh off and putting salt in it, before sewing it back up. Oh, but don't worry, I won't do anything like that to you." You say as you open the cylinder to see that it was filled with bullets.
"Instead, we're going to play a small game, that I would play with a few people back where I'm from." You say as you turned back around to reveal the opened cylinder.
"Its called Russian Roulette." You say giving a sadistic smirk.
The man was now giving you a terrified look, while sweating.
"You see, how you play is quite simple. You have six bullets in this gun, called a revolver, and you take out all the bullets. Not this one though." You say as you take out all the bullets, while holding up only one.
"You see this one's my favorite, so he's going to stay in there." You say as you put the one bullet back on the cylinder.
"Then you close it, and spin it." You say as you do the action.
"Now the fun begins." You say as you point the gun to your head.
"I'll go first." You say as you pull the trigger.
'Click.'
"Oh, looks like I'm lucky, I didn't get the bullet." You say in a sickeningly sweet voice.
"Now its your turn." You say as you point the gun to his head.
The man begins to whimper.
"Oh, wait. That wouldn't be fun, how about we bet on this instead." You say as you point the gun to his groin.
"So, tell me, there's only five shots left, after all. Where's Levi?" You ask.
You put your finger on the trigger, and slowly began to pull your finger back.
"Wait! Wait! I'll tell you! I'll tell you!" The man wails.
"Where is he?" You repeat, still keeping your gun pointed at his groin.
"He's in the same building you were held hostage at! We're trying to lure you in, so we can have an exchange! So please let me go, I beg of you!" The man continues to wail.
"Thanks for the information." You say as you began to walk away, but before you set foot out the door, you quickly turned around, and pulled the trigger.
'Bang!'
The man begins to let out a blood curdling scream.
Well who could blame him, you did just shoot his manhood off.
Erwin stood stalkstill at what you just did.
"Come on Erwin, we're going to rescue Levi." You say, snapping the man back to reality.
As he caught up to you, he stayed silent, until halfway down the hall.
"Why did you shoot him?" Erwin finally asks.
"Because, he needs to know that I would kill him without hesitation if he's lying." Was all you said, as you began to head towards the stable.
"At least take a few cadets with you." Erwin stated.
"Fine, bring all of Levi's new squad. Knowing how they're handling this. They will have a lot of henchmen either outside or inside, and I need a deversion, as well as manpower in order to try and take care of them." You instruct.
"Okay, I understand." Was all Erwin said, before heading off towards the mess hall, where everyone is.
"Don't worry Levi, this time I'm going to save you." You say as you head off towards the stables to prepare your horse.
